Our History

SCBWI Ohio North would like to express our sincere gratitude to the following volunteers for their years of dedicated service and hard work in this region. Without their tireless efforts and talent, our community wouldn't be the supportive, thriving region it is today. On behalf of our current Regional Team and all our members, we extend a heartfelt THANK YOU!!
